Granola has long been considered a go-to snack for health-conscious individuals. With its crunchy texture, sweet flavour, and mix of ingredients, it’s easy to assume that granola is inherently a healthy food. 


However, not all granola is created equal. Many store-bought varieties are packed with refined sugars, unhealthy fats, and excessive calories, leaving consumers with a false sense of wellness. ELEAT High-Protein Granola is different.


We've created a balanced, nutrient-dense product that combines the best ingredients to fuel your day. Let’s take a closer look at what's inside our delicious granola and why it’s the healthier choice.


Wholegrain Oats


At the core of ELEAT High-Protein Granola are wholegrain oats, a powerhouse of nutrition. Oats are a low-GI (glycemic index) carbohydrate, meaning they are digested slowly and provide a steady source of energy, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels. This makes them a great choice for anyone looking to keep their energy levels consistent throughout the day. Additionally, oats are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels, support immune function and improve digestive health. Wholegrain oats are a wholesome, filling base that ensures you get both the energy and the health benefits you need.


Soy Protein


One of the standout features of ELEAT High-Protein Granola is its impressive protein content. With up to 15g of protein per serving, it’s an excellent option for those looking to boost their protein intake. The secret behind this high protein content is soy protein, a complete plant-based protein that contains all nine essential amino acids. Soy protein is a great alternative to animal-based proteins and has been linked to improved muscle recovery, heart health, and weight management.


We take pride in using non-GMO soy protein in our granola, ensuring that you’re consuming a clean, high-quality ingredient. Our soy protein is used in two forms: as crispies and as an isolate, both of which contribute to the crunchy texture and protein boost. This combination of soy protein forms allows us to deliver a satisfying, nutrient-packed granola that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.


Sunflower Oil


Many granola recipes rely on oils that are high in unhealthy trans fats or omega-6 fatty acids. ELEAT High-Protein Granola, however, uses high-oleic sunflower oil, which is a healthier fat choice. This oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which have been shown to promote heart health by reducing bad cholesterol levels. 


High-oleic sunflower oil also helps with the application of the granola’s sugar coating, giving it a satisfying crunch without the use of refined sugars. This makes our granola not only tastier but also a better option for maintaining a balanced diet.


Fibre Syrup: Natural Prebiotics for Gut Health


We believe that true wellness starts from the inside out, which is why ELEAT High-Protein Granola contains fibre syrup made from fructose-oligosaccharides (FOS). FOS are natural prebiotics, which means they feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A healthy gut microbiome is essential for overall health, including better digestion, improved immune function, and even mood regulation. By including FOS in our granola, we’re helping you support your gut health in a natural, effective way.


Natural Flavours and Xylitol


One of the biggest concerns with traditional granola is the use of refined sugars, which can spike blood sugar levels and contribute to unhealthy weight gain. At ELEAT, we’ve chosen to avoid refined sugars altogether. Instead, we use xylitol, a natural sweetener derived from fruits and vegetables. Xylitol has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar, making it a better option for those watching their blood sugar levels. It also has fewer calories and can even help reduce the risk of cavities. Our natural flavours and sweeteners give the granola the perfect amount of sweetness without compromising your health.


Almonds


Almonds are another key ingredient in ELEAT High-Protein Granola. These nutrient-dense nuts are a great source of healthy fats, protein, fibre, and antioxidants. Almonds have been shown to support heart health, aid in weight management, and even improve skin health due to their high vitamin E content. Their natural crunch adds a satisfying texture to our granola while providing a wide range of health benefits, making them a perfect addition to our balanced recipe.


Conclusion


ELEAT High-Protein Granola is more than just a snack—it's a nutrient-packed powerhouse designed to fuel your body with the right balance of protein, fibre, healthy fats, and natural sweetness. We’ve carefully selected each ingredient to ensure that you get the most out of every bite. Whether you’re enjoying it as a breakfast, snack, or post-workout fuel, ELEAT High-Protein Granola is a delicious, wholesome choice for anyone looking to make better food choices without sacrificing taste.
